Only in the hospital immediately after one episode of PE and one of multiple DVT. Would have cost $800/wk., even with my insurance coverage.

Had this injected into stomach (lovely!!!) while i was in the hospital. No side effects, but I'm assuming it helped to control/dissolve my clots.

Just completed five days of shots at home. Need addl' u/s to confirm clot is dissolving. Unfortunately pelvic clot is difficult to see
